ESSENTIAL bug out bag contents 2 Guns and Ammo

[justanothergunnut]

FIREARMS AND AMMO..... In this video I cover the firearms and ammo that I keep in my BOB. This of course does not cover what I carry on my Plate carrier, only what is in my bag. I will probably add a 22lr pistol as we all know that is super important.

The first thing I would identify is: where are you bugging out from and where are you bugging out to?

Secondly, How to you plan on managing all the weight in the bag and on you? Just adding up all the lead in the bullets you are carrying (not counting brass and gunpowder) is pushing 20 lbs and it looks like you have at least 18 pounds in firearms.

38 pounds and haven't even touched on water, water filtration, food, shelter and items to make the trip easier.

I am also curious if you have hiked with that bag where your extra boots are located? From their current location, I would think they would be hitting you in the arm once a minute or getting caught on a tree.

ESSENTIAL bug out bag contents 2 Guns and Ammo

Part 2 in the series on bug out bag contents. Everybody's favs.. GUNS AND AMMO

1000 rounds in the bottom of the pack... The bag can handle it...

But can your BACK and knees handle it?

That is far more guns and ammo than I plan on having in, on, or around a BOB... Your more of a man than I!

going to town......lol


good vids man. great job.

[Lowdown3]

More ammo is definitely necessary.

Maybe it would be better to carry what few emergency parts a Glock needs instead of extra pistols! Then the weight I cut there I could carry a 22 pistol.

RE: Ammo: I guess it all depends on WHERE and how FAR a BOB needs to take you... If a BOB were to take me to a place where ammo may never exist again, then maybe my anodized aluminum cookset and Optimus multi-fuel backpack stove could be left behind...

But my BOB (I am leaving ON FOOT and may never make it make back here again) has stuff to LIVE rather than just survive, and fully loaded, without any guns and ammo, it is already DAMN HEAVY! Between small stove, fuel bottle, water filter, tent (or hammock & rain fly), sleeping bag, higher-level FAK, extra boots, radio, Brunton solar panel, etc..., I am at max capacity without going to some kind of cart...
Then add the carbine, mags, pistol & mags, chest rig & belt, it is some SERIOUS weight...

Again, I said to LIVE rather than just survive... With wife and child in tow, I cannot plan on just RAW survival...

I honestly don't see scenarios like popular in novels where hoards of human predators need to be mowed down with mag after mag of ammo... I see scenarios where only a FEW ROUNDS, maybe ONE MAG, at the most, would remove the threat. If more ammo than that is needed, it is likely I may not survive that encounter as the odds of an unlucky bullet hitting me are much higher... There then may be a handful of "encounters" that would also be "one mag" encounters... But over 1000 rounds, I don't think that is very likely.... YMMV.

I am just trying to make it from Point A to Point B without any outside human conflict... That is where the motherlode of ammo and weapons lies... But to get there, avoiding civilization, may take weeks, maybe even a month ON FOOT at an overloaded turtle pace... The novel, "Going Home," by A. American is the view on things I have...

NSFW - swear words.... you can just mute the sound, that part is not needed

Haven't seen the OP's whole load out yet, but I am just envisioning this occurring when it comes time to carry all the gear.

That was funny! I sometimes feel like that guy. It is why my chest rig is just two mags thick, no thicker, and why I split it in two and sew'd on buckles to allow it to separate in the front...

Cool vids.

I have a few questions.

How do you like the ILBE pack?

How much is your load out with all that G&A?

I see you list your location as Kalifornia, can you even own that MBR there?

[xdpatriot]

Cool video and thanks for posting. That's a lot of weight. If you haven't or can't go hiking with it, I suggest just getting it fully loaded and standing in the living room for an hour while watching or wear it while cooking supper. You may re-prioritize. Again, thanks for sharing and keep it up.

Dude, if you are carrying that pack long distance your calf muscles must be the size of grapefruits!

I know carrying 60lbs in the north Ga mountains up and down trails kicks my butt and I am semi in shape. If you can do it, hats off to ya!

Good vid.

[justanothergunnut]

I do carry it around the house and it's not that bad I mean our troops carry 110 to 130 lbs all the time and I shave weight in other areas because in a post event paw defense is super important
